last trade for a while now maybe until the news, price is coiling tighter by the looks of things so not the type of range i like to be in.

Also, they pulled their BS news release MO in the USDCHF. Caused the big exhaustion bar down to a dialy OB area ( purple line) and around a 50's area (brn). Looked for a reason why it dropped so fast saw the news release and when I looked at the charts saw the quick rejection of the 50's zone and I knew what was happening.
took a while for gbp to show but all the tails on top showed her hands.

Hi Dustin

well done my friend, the action as you and Alex have pointed out also is not always as clear in the one chart you may be trading, i use USDX (because i am lazy) but the way fti suggested using the kingdoms and crosses is better and a good way for us to learn 'their ways', as you and Alex do, you done well to get in that earlier on that trade but once you can understand 'the system' we can see and mostly know and feel what we must look for to get the better trades.
you are getting to grips with this so quick now, i hope i have helped you a little by putting the missing pieces together as fti asked of us for his help.

no trade off the news, not enough volatility for me to want to trade that and it is USD holiday and it is later on Friday into the sessions, will watch it a little bit for another bear move but if not i will call it a day soon.

have a good weekend everyone and i hope you all caught some good pips this week.

I know you say you use the usdx out of laziness but in my imho is out of efficiency. Like you said a few posts ago there's so much information to contend with that can cause the brain to overload and it can be a hassle remembering all the information. plus I have noticed using the usdx keeps me in the trade for a longer ride when other pairs maybe giving clues of stalling where I would tp earlier... the usdx seems to smooth out some of the noise (at least from what ive observed so far). like youve said the goal of this job is to make money and if you've found a less stressful/ less cap intensive/ easier way to get the job done than that's even better. I flip through the other pairs because Im at the the computer anyways waiting for trades sometimes get distracted doing so. IMO the clues where in the gbp already she just took a sec to run.

You have helped me a ton as there was a lot of stuff in taf that I was scratching my head about wondering If I understood it correctly or not. Not sure if I wouldve figured it out on my own. So, thank you for everything. Ill see you and alex on the battlefield on monday. Have a great weekend.

I felt knackered yesterday for some reason- think it is the weather. Hope you are feeling better.

Hi Alex

thanks my friend, i hope you are feeling better too. my problems get worse in the cold and wet.

mine is i have had that head cold thing that is going around for the last couple of weeks, feels like it is going now but has left me very tired, so i gave up yesterday after that loss, let us see how today is for me, gone short at london open.

Hi Alex

Hi Alex

USDX is a good guide at harder times, it looks like it is now suggesting making a new longer term low. i will post a chart in a while after i mark it up.
